[New-bugs-announce] [issue21444] __len__ can't return big numbers

[Ram Rachum]

New submission from Ram Rachum:

I want to use big numbers for length.

>>> class A:
...     __len__ = lambda self: 10 ** 20
>>> len(A())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>
    len(A())
OverflowError: cannot fit 'int' into an index-sized integer
